Manny Pacquiao vs Timothy Bradley Return Match April 12.

Return Match between Manny Pacquiao vs Timothy Bradley at MGM Grand  Las Vegas, Nevada on  April 12, 2014 

What can say?

Return Match between the undefeated Timothy Bradley and Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao will be back in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 12. If the Pacquiao-Bradley rematch happen, This is no longer the same as the first fight. Manny Pacquiao will not fight the way he fight before he experienced that knock out from Marquez, If i have to choose between the too fighters, I'll still go for Manny Pacquiao. The more chance he can win the fight because this time, He'll be careful, But I don't expect that he will display his sensational fighting style. What i mean is his killers instinct here, rather the "go go" style of Manny.

During there first fight, When Bradley was awarded a split decision victory, I was not convinced. Manny was ahead on my score card on points. When Manny Pacquiao win this match, It would be best that the Mega fight between Manny Pacquiao and Mayweather will push through. That is if Mayweather could not fine a reason for nor accepting the fight! He he he! "He is scared of Manny Pacquiao's ouckward style!

During the Manny Pacquiao and Brandon Rios fight in Macau, The way I look at it, Although Manny Pacquiao outclasses Brandon Rios, His killers instinct was not there.  It's a bit of a play safe strategy. This is a Psychological effect on the knocked out he suffered from his 4th fight with Marquez. The way I look at it, This is the reason why the Team Pacquiao go for Bradley return match so that Manny Pacquiao can recover fully the lost confidence which is the after effect of  the knock out he suffered from Marquez.

What i noticed during the Brandon Rios fight was, every time he backed Rios into a corner, Manny stepped back instead of going for it, or pushing through for the kill for the knock out.
It was a play safe strategy because he knows that Rios is also a hard puncher, But a flat footed and a standing target. This rematch with Tim Bradley, although Bradley has a good knock out record, It's easy for Manny Pacquiao to win on points as long as it would be a different judges this time.

I still would like  to watch Juan Manuel Marquez vs Manny Pacquiao on their 5th fight. Although their was a knock out, it was just a lucky punch! I'd been watching the fight several times, It was Marquez who was ready to go down when Manny Pacquiao start attacking Marquez for the Kill, But on the last 8 seconds left of the round, Manny was hit by that "Lucky Punch" that put him to sleep.

I call it a "Lucky Punch" because the round was almost over.  ( To be Continued)
